• Regretting You by Colleen Hoover <— COLLEEN HOOVER SUPER-BARGAIN ALERT!!!!! Here’s my review!!

Katie: LOVED this book 

Jen: It was such a good book!

Ashley: Hi! It’s me again! I just finished Regretting You. Well, I didn’t think anything could top Slammed but she’s done it! It’s officially my favorite book of 2019… possibly ever. This book is everything! It’s raw and real and I am just overwhelmed and a little sad that I don’t think anything can top it! I feel very sorry for the next book that I read. I don’t care what your plans are, drop them.

Becky: This might be my favorite CoHo book ever.

• The Pleasure House by Kitty Thomas <— KITTY THOMAS QUEEN OF DARK READS & BOOK BUNDLE ALERT!!! “…The Pleasure House is Kitty Thomas’s COMPLETE 5 book pleasure house series. All five books from the pleasure house series are included: Guilty Pleasures, Broken Dolls, Surrender, Pretty Lies, and Twisted Fates.”

Tessa: Brian Sloan from Kitty Thomas’s book. (That is so on my TBR list. A sociopathic dom… *shudders in fear*) …He is introduced in Guilty Pleasures and is in his own stand alone, Broken Dolls. He sounds interesting, if nothing else. *grins*

Anna: I read Guilty Pleasures by Kitty Thomas about a year ago. I remember it wasn’t quite as dark as I’d expected, but there were definitely some interesting twists and turns. It is one of those books that I still remember a lot about even a year later, and for someone like me who reads a million books and has a shifty memory that is probably saying something 🙂

Tessa: Kitty Thomas is usually that “I gotta know” author. So, *raises hand*. I did love her Submissive Fairy tales and Broken Dolls.

• Pretty Boy by K.M. Neuhold <— M/M ROMANCE!!! “…When half your face is covered in a big, blotchy birthmark, you get used to the staring and the whispers. You get used to feeling unwanted. Until he walks into my bar…“
• Reign of Darkness (Prince’s Assassin Book 2) by Ariana Nash
• Something New: A Holiday Springs Resort Novel by B. Ivy Woods
• Declan: Steamy Friends to Lovers Romance (Lucky Irish Book 4) by Anna Castor
• View With Your Heart: a small town romance (Heart Collection Book 5) by L.B. Dunbar
• Chasing Him by Jenessa Fayeth
• The Solomon Brothers: The Complete Series by Leslie North
• A Love Letter to Whiskey by Kandi Steiner <— SUPER-ANGSTY ALERT!! YASMEN LOVED IT!

Yasmen: If you are looking for book that will take on an up and down ride, make you feel all kind of emotions, make you angry and want to throw it out of the window or put it in the freezer (I am looking at you friends fans you guys get it ) but will end up loving it any way then you should totally read “A love letter to whiskey”

It was awful a little when you won’t agree with the main characters actions but it happens in all books too so you really should look it up…

• Her Football Star Ex: A Sweet Romance (A Second Chance for the Rich and Famous) by Judy Corry <— SUPER-ANGSTY ALERT!! YASMEN LOVED THIS ONE TOO!

Yasmen: “Her football star ex” if that’s not an emotional read i don’t know what is and it’s a little different plot but really just a great book.

• Chasing Cassandra: The Ravenels by Lisa Kleypas <— BARGAIN PRICED HISTORICAL ROMANCE!!

Jan: I finished the new Lisa Kleypas, Chasing Cassandra. Victorian-era romance with a highly intelligent self-made man hero who has more money than he’ll ever need, but doesn’t really know how to feel love. Yeah, one of those kinda guys. Lovely story. 4 stars from me.

• Brutally Beautiful (The Beautiful Series Book 1) by Christine Zolendz <— SUPER-BARGAIN & I ENJOYED IT!! Here’s my review.

Minha: Loved…Looooved the book… And your review is just perfect and fun!! It’s like you know what I am thinking… thank you for putting my thoughts in your fun writing and book sharing… LoL

Sarah: This one hit me like a freight train! Loved loved loved it! Great review maryse

Emily: Maryse, I’m 34% into “Brutally Beautiful” and I gotta say I think “Lainey” is one of my most favorite heroines ever! Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention this weekend! Loving this book! 🙂

Michelle M: Cold-Blooded Beautiful was f***ing awesome, even better than Brutally Beautiful! I know you liked Brutally Beautiful, so you gotta read Cold-Blooded Beautiful. There were parts that my eyes just couldn’t read fast enough and left my heart pounding with adrenaline and there were parts that left my eyes tear-filled and my heart sighing. Such a great sequel and conclusion.

• LIFE OF DEBAUCHERY by M. Robinson <— DUET BUNDLE ALERT!! “...No one saw through her looking glass. No one cared. No one tried. Until the villain presented himself as the hero in her life. He took and took and took some more. With no regret. With no shame. With no apology…“
